That year Huayu

Chapter 1013 Chen·Ip Man·Kaige; Negative vortex: sleeping powder, choosing a concubine...

Among the nearly 1,000 films participating in the Magic City International Film Festival, at least 200 will be gathered together during these nine days to hold large or small promotional conferences.

This means that on average, more than 30 movies are in fierce competition every day, competing for industry guests, media resources, and news traffic from the entire network.

No, just after lunch, Lin Nan received several phone calls.

Ren Zhonglun repeatedly urged him to go to Shanghai Film Studio No. 5 in the evening to participate in the "Shanghai Film Night". Li An would give a speech, and Jia Zhangke, Jackie Chan and others would also be present.

As for China Film, it was La Peikang's secretary who called. In the evening, there will be a reception with the theme of "The Great Wall". Zhang Yimou, Jing Tian, ​​and Liu Dehua are the protagonists, but Matt and the others are not scheduled.

In addition, it was a promotional dinner for several movies such as Chen Kexin's "July and Ansheng" and Feng Xiaogang's "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".

Regardless of whether their relationship with Director Lin was good or not, the invitations were handed over anyway, and they were all handed over to Lin Nan's assistant.

But it's a pity that Lin Nan's replies were all thank you for the invitation. Because the schedule has been decided, several people are going to warm Luo Jin's house in the evening to congratulate Luo Jin on his new move.

I heard that it is a large flat floor of nearly 500 square meters. It was bought not long ago and cost nearly 100 million.

However, it will definitely not be possible to move in for at least half a year, because Tang Yan and Luo Jin decided to renovate it according to their favorite style, and the total cost must be over 100 million.

"Let's see, Director Chen is still showing off. The "China Film Education International Forum - Invitation to the Conference" was sent by the Shanghai Film School of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

Dean Chen Kaige is the keynote speaker, and Director Tian Zhuangzhuang and Director Gu Changwei have sharing sessions; well, I guess they will also talk about the creative concept of "The Legend of the Demon Cat"! "

Ning Hao strolled over with two invitations and couldn't help but laugh while handing them to Lin Nan.

He met Chen Hong outside and was invited on the spot, so he simply brought him back with him for Lin Nan.

"You are really nosy."

Lin Nan stopped editing the email he was preparing to send back to Tom. After reading the invitation, he complained about Ning Hao rather speechlessly.

"Hey guys, "Fifty Shades Freed"! Is this about to start filming?"

Ning Hao ignored Lin Nan's complaints. When he saw the content on the laptop screen, a lewd smile appeared on his face.

"Well, the final film in the series will start filming next month." Lin Nan nodded.

"It's a bit scary to think about the profit if we can make a third film. How much did your Crystal Pictures make?"

Ning Hao had seen Tom's attitude in front of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei. He didn't believe that Lin Nan only owned 55% of the shares of Crystal Pictures.

"Totaling the first two films together, as of the end of last month, Crystal Pictures' net profit, I'm talking about net profit, has exceeded 300 million US dollars.

There will be more to come in the future, such as online broadcasts, DVDs, home entertainment, TV, peripherals..." Lin Nan didn't hide it, if you want to check these, you can find them.

"The copyright system outside is better. A movie can last for many years, and a good movie can last until death." Ning Hao smacked his lips and beat his chest with envy.

"Why don't you say that actors also get more? For any movie that makes money, actors can participate in profit sharing on top of the basic salary, although the points for sharing are very small.

But yes, generally speaking, as long as the movie can sell well, both the actors and the film crew will make money... and it is indeed the latter who makes more! "

Lin Nan changed her words and glanced at Ning Hao with a smile, "It's no use just being envious, you have to go to Hollywood to fight."

"So, your Yifei's "Inception" and "Interstellar" have always shared profits?"

"Well, it happens every year. Relatively speaking, the profit sharing points of the leading actors are above 1 point. The more superstars have global box office appeal, the higher the points are, but there is an upper limit. Hahaha..."

Seeing Ning Hao's expression of regret that he shouldn't have asked so many questions, Lin Nan couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.

…

After picking and choosing all afternoon, Liu Yifei finally selected a top-quality pearl necklace and a pair of pearl earrings as gifts to Tang Yan that evening.

Han Jia Nyeo, on the other hand, had her first "heavy bleeding" after arriving in Shanghai and bought a luxury handbag.

"Where's Sister Zhou Xun? You haven't seen her since last night?"

"Her TV series will have a press conference the day after tomorrow. At the moment, the producer should be reviewing the process."

Liu Yifei swiped her card while talking to Han Jianu.

The investment scale of Zhou Xun's TV series is not small. The media project launch conference on the 15th will definitely attract the attention and heated discussion of the entire film and television industry and the entire Internet.

"Why don't you pick a gift for your director Lin?"

"Of course we both get one as a gift, I just have to pick it up."

Liu Yifei took the gift box and card from the waiter's hands and raised her eyebrows at Han Jianu playfully.

"Oh, it's good to forget about this and get married, haha..."

The assistant followed behind the two people carrying exquisite packaging bags, um, let's continue shopping.

More than half an hour later, a call came in, ending Liu Yifei and Han Jia's shopping trip. It was from Shu Chang.

"It's already past four o'clock. Let's go back and meet Lin Nan. Zhu Yawen and the others should be ready as well."

After hanging up the phone, looking at the time, Liu Yifei made a decisive decision.

"Okay, as long as I don't get caught by Old Han; he takes me to see this uncle and call that aunt every day... I feel so tired."

Han Jianu, who was in a state of ruin, was whistling and leaking wind again.

During the film festival, the busiest activities are always in the evening, with parties, cocktail receptions, dinners...

At early six o'clock in the evening, when activities in various circles started competing and calls kept coming to Lin Nan, he turned off his phone to save his worries.

Liu Yifei, who was wearing a floral dress and white shoes, walked lightly to Lin Nan and held her arms;

When the two of them arrived downstairs, Zhu Yawen, Shen Jiani and Han Jianu, who were also wearing summer casual clothes, were already waiting in the car.

"Hurry up, you two are chatting, are you eating lipstick on it? I heard that Tang Yan will be cooking tonight, and Tang Luoshi will help with the cooking..."

Zhu Yawen is really cool. She is wearing sunglasses and teasing Lin Nan and Liu Yifei. Shen Jiani and Han Jianu are laughing on the sidelines.

"Tangtang has always said that she likes pet dogs, but she just doesn't have time to keep one. It's a pity; otherwise, I will bite you when I squat at the door tonight."

Liu Yifei stared blankly and retorted rudely. Lin Nan and the other three immediately burst into laughter, "You deserve it."

At half past seven in the evening, two extended business cars arrived in the old wealthy area of ​​Shanghai. Luo Jin and Tang Yan wore peaked caps and ran out to greet them in a low-key manner.

The decoration of a house worth nearly 100 million yuan would definitely not be cheap, but it was just not Tang Yan's favorite style, so it had to be renovated.

“To be honest, although large flat floors are good, I still prefer villas with yards, lawns, gardens, and leisure and entertainment facilities.

By the way, last time Director Wang suggested that I go to Shunyi to buy a manor villa. There are some that cover an area of ​​20 to 30 acres... When I have time later, I will go and have a look..."

While Liu Yifei, Han Jia'v, and Shen Jiani were showing off their gifts to Tang Yan, Lin Nan and Zhu Yawen followed Luo Jin and walked around this new house covering an area of ​​nearly 500 square meters.

"Tangtang and I are not as good as Director Lin and you two." Luo Jin said with a speechless smile on his face.

"You say it as if I can compare with it. Others have big capital. Tudou is in the second round of financing, with an external market value of 45 billion! Tsk, tsk, tsk..."

In Zhu Yawen's "Yin and Yang Wei", jealousy and envy account for 99.99%, and they are nakedly revealed.

"By the way, is there something simmering in the kitchen? The smell wafts quite far away..." Lin Nan took a sniff and changed the topic with a smile.

"Tangtang, your braised pork should be ready, Director Lin can smell it, haha..." Luo Jin shouted towards the living room from a distance, laughing non-stop.

"Well, okay, let's get ready for dinner, shall we?"

At eight o'clock exactly, seven people also started a "dinner" in Luo Jin and Tang Yan's "new house" in the future.

Looking at the dozen or so dishes on the table such as braised pork, fried shrimps in oil, sweet and sour short ribs, crystal shrimps, grilled yam with candied dates, etc., Lin Nan couldn't help but look at Liu Yifei next to her, and then she gave her a vicious look. .

Director Lin Da had to admit that when it came to cooking skills, Tang Yan from the Luo Jin family was really far better than his own Producer Liu; the gap between the two should be as far as the Magic City to the capital, right? !

…………

"Yesterday evening, director Chen Kaige made an impassioned speech at the "China Film Education International Forum", saying: In the final analysis, movies are about personality. Only when the director has a true temperament and is willing to put his true temperament into the movie can he make a good movie. !”

"Speaking of the rise, director Chen Kaige used himself as an example and recalled: 'When I was a child, I was relatively polite, and fighting usually had nothing to do with me, but in my heart I actually admired my classmates who were brave and fierce.

It's strange that when I was in my 40s, I actually got into a fight. At that time, I acted bravely and beat 6 people by myself. I was beaten to a bloody head.

But that day was a particularly happy day in my life, because I finally overcame the fear deep in my heart and could "take advantage of the situation and draw my sword." Therefore, when making a movie, you must be careful...' "

"Director Li An warned filmmakers in the industry at the 'Shanghai Film Night': They need to be wary of the traps behind the prosperity of the film industry. Blindly following the trend to make quick money, piling up stars and fast food IP is violently burning and overdrafting the vitality of the film industry. In Sacrificing the future of the film industry..."

"After six years, Director Jia Zhangke once again mentioned his first commercial film "In the Qing Dynasty" which has been in preparation for many years but has not been seen..."

"Exclusively produced by Hongxingwu, starring Shu Chang, Jiao Enjun, Reba, Zhang Zhiyao, Yu Bo, Zhong Hanliang, Chen Yao, Qiao Zhenyu, Meng Ziyi, Mu Tingting, Kang Keren and others;

The large-scale fantasy costume myth drama "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was officially completed this morning in Yunnan Puzhehei Karst National Wetland Park..."

…

I slept until I woke up naturally in the morning. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the "instructions" of the two great directors on the film industry.

Actually, both of them were right; but for some reason, Director Chen gave Lin Nan the urge to laugh, but it was definitely not derogatory.

"You don't know, when I was sitting in the audience and heard Director Chen impassionedly saying that he beat six of them one by one, I thought he had won the fight. He was the one who got beaten!"

Liu Yifei went to pick up Shu Chang at the airport. Just as Lin Nan was about to go out, Ning Hao called.

Okay, time to point it out. The funny thing about Director Chen Da is that he was obviously beaten, but he still had the aura of being Chen Ip Man Kai Ge!

"Fortunately, I didn't go. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. See you at the exhibition area later."

"Well, okay."

Tonight is the first Weibo Movie Night, held at the World Expo Cultural Center.

Liu Yifei didn't want to go there to join in the fun. Firstly, it was absolutely chaotic there. Secondly, she made an appointment with Shu Chang and Han Jianyv to play in the afternoon and watch a movie in the evening.

Lin Nan also supported her idea, so Lin Nan would walk with Zhou Xun on the red carpet in the evening. Well, weekly news is cheap!

I haven't paid attention to the film market for a few days. When Lin Nan entered the huge film exhibition area, he heard a lot of people talking about it.

"Alice in Wonderland 2" was released with a box office of 380 million. The reason is not that it is weak, but because "Warcraft" is too powerful.

The latter not only wiped out all Chinese-language films, but also wiped out imported films;

It took 5 days to score 1.028 billion in box office. It was like attacking the city and destroying it!

"Director Lin, Ali is currently holding the first media conference for the movie version of "Three Lives Three Worlds". I heard that the post-production special effects have already started and it is planned to be released next year."

Yue Jun said and handed Lin Nan a bottle of water. He had just finished an interview with the media about "Operation Mekong".

"Next year is just next year, it doesn't matter to us." Lin Nan saw Yan Fei's group, Shen Teng and Ma Li, and waved.

"No one cares about "The Donkey Gets Water"?"

"Well, it is indeed a bit deserted, mainly because the cast is not famous." Yan Fei's smile was a bit bitter.

"Don't be pressured. As long as a small-budget movie is a dark horse, it won't lose money!"

Lin Nan smiled and comforted. Then he looked at Ma Li and the two of them, "You two should also be attending the Weibo movie night tonight, right?"

"Yes, Director Lin. Last year's "Charlotte Trouble" also made nearly 1.8 billion, right? Ma Li and I are also quite famous, haha."

"That's true, but the seats should be towards the back. After all, it's only one movie." Ma Li agreed, she was self-aware.

"Director Lin, the movie "The Shameful Iron Fist" should be released in August or even September. The script and budget will be available by then." Yan Fei came closer and lowered his voice.

Regarding this movie, Lin Nan was not in a hurry. Happy Mahua itself was very attentive, "Well, there is no problem in terms of time."

Looking at the entire Magic City International Film Festival, most of the artists in the industry who come here are not A-listers; but with a large base, the number of popular stars and A-list actors will naturally be larger.

Media festivals with particularly high exposure, such as Weibo Movie Night, are undoubtedly occasions for artists to "intrigue each other", especially those in the A-list.

When everyone met, they basically had smiles on their faces, but I didn’t know what they were thinking in their hearts;

Many times, the order and seating arrangement of the red carpet can put stars in the spotlight and create a gap. Because this represents coffee status, it is also competition for resources to a certain extent!

…

Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen also came to the Magic City in a low-key manner; because there are some official forums involving cultural export that need to be controlled.

“Jia Zhangke submitted an application document to the ministry and the General Administration for founding the fifth domestic international film festival, which was jointly signed by Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Chen Kaige, Cao Baoping... Lin Nan and other great directors from Nortel.

The culture and publicity departments all approved it yesterday, and the film bureau has no objections. Preparations are expected to begin within half a year, and you state-owned enterprises are ready to cooperate. "

In the hotel conference hall under the movie theater, Tong Gang and everyone present "reported".

"The fifth international film festival?"

"He is so courageous. There was no news at all before." La Peikang muttered.

"Jia Zhangke? He is the only one who is suitable for this kind of thing. He is not a big commercial director or a film and television capital. He is relatively neutral!" Ren Zhonglun nodded and affirmed.

“It can be seen from the name on his application documents that he is a bit pursuing.

It is not called the film festival internally, but called the ‘Pingyao International Film Festival’, and the external English name is the ‘Pingyao Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon International Film Festival’! " Zhang Hongsen added with a smile.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?" Han Sanping asked subconsciously, a little confused.

"Yes, it is taken from Li An's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Who made Li An's movie the only Chinese-language film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? It has full international influence. In addition, Li An has also Authorized!”

Tong Gang explained. Choosing the ancient city of Pingyao as the venue is also conducive to the spread of foreign culture to a certain extent.

…

With just one phone call, Lin Nan was informed by Liu Yifei;

If she doesn't come back in the evening, she will go directly to the film festival screening hall with Shu Chang and Han Jianyue to watch "Big Fish and Begonia" in advance, which Guangxiang participated in.

The scene outside the World Expo Cultural Center was second only to the opening ceremony of the film festival the night before yesterday. There are basically all Asian stars here, most of them are Chinese actors and stars, and a small part are Japanese and Korean artists.

Lin Nan can be sure that he is the biggest celebrity among the guests in the film and television industry tonight on Weibo Movie Night, and he is the only big celebrity in the film industry!

Because although there are many stars here, there are only a few film directors, especially top directors, so he seems so "only".

Zhou Xun, wearing a black bright-spotted long skirt with hollow waist design, black high heels, and holding a golden handbag, walked on the red carpet with Lin Nan hand in hand.

The media reporters were like crazy, flashing lights non-stop, and their hands were shaking.

Good man, when have you ever seen Director Lin take other actresses on the red carpet so "intimately"? It seems not? Anyway, I can't remember it for a while!

"Sister, I have a feeling that the headlines tonight must belong to me!"

Zhou Xun lowered her voice, smiled at the reporters and fans on both sides, and joked with Lin Nan.

"Then you're in luck!" Lin Nan also laughed.

"It's agreed in advance. I've said hello to Yifei."

"Yeah, me too."

"Haha, you're not from Sichuan and Chongqing!" Zhou Xun ended the topic instantly, and Director Lin was speechless.

In the venue, after saying hello to Cao Baoping, Lin Nan led Zhou Xun to the first row, passing Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and others in the second row.

The first row was basically full of acquaintances, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng... Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang...

Zhou Xun was the only pure actor in the first row, next to Lin Nan.

To use the tone of Director Lin when they talked on the phone during the day, that is: "I will take you with me tonight to enjoy the preferential treatment."

So, Lin Nan made a call to change Zhou Xun's seat temporarily.

Weibo Movie Night is very similar to Weibo Night, with many awards, but generally speaking, they are all related to movies, not as messy and cumbersome as Weibo Night.

As a major shareholder of Weibo and the top director at the scene, Lin Nan went on stage to present several awards to support Weibo Movie Night.

Weibo's most popular comedians: Shen Teng, Ma Li. Well, this is our own people!

Weibo's most popular action actor: Wu Tian. This is also our own people!

Speaking of awarding Wu Tian, ​​this guy is still in Africa.

Xie Nan came up to receive the award on behalf of Wu Tian, ​​and was teased by Lin Nan for a while; but the two of them went back and forth, and they responded fluently, which was also a warm-up.

From the beginning to the end of Weibo Movie Night, Lin Nan did not "leave early", and he fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations as a shareholder.

When Cao Guowei made his final summary speech, he also thanked Lin Nan in particular; in addition, he also made a promise to the entire film industry:

In the future, Weibo Movie Night will definitely be more grand than the previous one, and become an indispensable film promotion night for the Chinese film industry.

…

Early in the morning, Lin Nan, who had been dawdling with Liu Yifei for more than an hour before getting up, really saw yesterday's news.

The photos of him and Zhou Xun walking hand in hand on the red carpet can be seen everywhere, and they are quite popular; not to mention, they are quite a match, especially the aura!

However, Zhou Xun's guessed headline was miscalculated, and he didn't get it at all.

Because the front page headlines and Weibo hot searches of the film and television entertainment sector are all about Wu, and the content is quite explosive!

"According to insiders in the industry, the super popular idol Wu has not had a brokerage contract since returning from South Korea. Recently, he is suspected to have signed a contract with a film and television giant in the industry..."

...

"Many entertainment media and senior entertainment reporters and paparazzi in the industry reported: Wu has been in trouble recently and his team is working hard on public relations. Almost everyone in the circle knows it..."

"According to several relevant people who do not want to disclose their identities, Wu is deeply involved in a negative vortex, involving sleeping with fans and selecting concubines... and related audio and photos have been leaked..."

...

When Lin Nan was eating breakfast, Liu Yifei was still lying in bed. Shu Chang and Han Jianu ran over and pulled her up. The three of them seemed to have an appointment in the morning.

Director Lin has no intention of paying attention to the mess on the Internet, and most of the capital bigwigs in the circle have no energy to care. Everyone is very busy.

Maybe only the media and fans care very much? The former care about "performance" and "benefits", while the latter group should be in chaos because of their concern, completely in chaos, riot!

Jiang Wen's call came very early, and the meeting he organized was in the morning.

This meeting was not a dinner party, but a small cocktail party, to find 400 million investment for "Evil Never Dies".

In Jiang Wen's more "rogue" words, first get 400 million investment, and then ask for more if it is not enough;

At that time, the investors can only continue to follow. Want to regret and get off? It's too late! Unless you are willing to give up the previous investment and treat it as a waste of money. But, is it possible?
